Oh, Hi! I didn't see you come in...

So yeah, about my MT table...

As you can guess by my long absence on this blog, I dropped that project a while ago, mostly a question of time and motivation. But I did not log my final progress so here it is :

So, Hello, Blog

First Blog, first post, first day. I would like to take a moment to address the subject and the objectives of this blog.

In this blog, I will document the fabrication of my future multitouch table, code-named ECHE. I will also relay cool and/or interesting stuff I read about NUI, and more particularly about Touch Interfaces and Multitouch, because that is what I like best.

So, why a blog, you could ask. Well, for two main reasons:

• To create a sort of How-To for readers who would like to make their own multitouch table. All I know about multitouch comes from the NUI Group, an online, open source community dedicated to NUIs and multitouch. Check out their wiki, their forum and even their book if you have any question about creating your MT table or want to write MT applications.
• And I would like to become an influencial tech blogger famous enough to get free stuff (Hey Apple, I want an iPad!)

Now, without further ado, and because as I understand blogs are all about funny videos and kittens, my favourite video ever about multitouch. It's an ad for a casino (or for Microsoft Surface I don't know) showing how multitouch tables can be used in a casino. I like to call it Multitouch gets you hot chicks.

I so love this video, because it's just worst than this parody of Microsoft Surface:

See you guys!
